There's two kinds of folks, "those that know what they are doing" and
"those that think they know what they are doing".

Conclusion:  If one THINKS they know how to set-up and operate a radio,
best advise, ask someone that KNOWS how to set-up and operate a radio.

Another very new and strange technique........read the manual.
